Inverari Castle

Inverari Castle is a pseudo-Gothic castle with numerous turrets. It once belonged to the Campbells, Dukes of Argyll. The castle was built in 1745 by architects Roger Morris and William Adam on the site of the ruins of the XV century. The towers were built after a fire in 1887.

The extraordinary interiors of the castle, created by Robert Milne, serve as the backdrop for a huge collection of Middle Eastern and European porcelain, Regency furniture and portraits by Ramsey, Gainsborough and Raburn.

Visitors are also invited to get acquainted with the salon for guests, the tapestries hall, the Victorian hall, with its samples of ancient furniture, interior, the richest collections of European and Eastern porcelain. And on the second floor there is a dining room, from the balcony of which there is a wonderful view of the surroundings and the garden of the castle.

The gun room features a collection of weapons collected by the Campbells to fight the Jacobites. The hall itself is considered the tallest room in Scotland (21 meters). Rays of light penetrating here through high window openings illuminate the collection of weapons: spears, swords, shields, even banners and a drum have been preserved.

You can feel yourself a real prisoner of the XIX century by visiting Inverari prison, which at the moment is almost an attraction. After all, these walls really contained criminals of Scotland and the atmosphere prevailing here will help to plunge into history with a head.
